Whether you're striding up the valley, crimping on gritstone, or squeezing in a trail loop before the heat of the day, Mello Shorts give you lightweight freedom and all-day comfort. They feel soft next to skin, stretch when you do, and stay put when it matters.

Move Freely. Stay Cool.

  • Soft nylon knit with 4-way stretch for total mobility

  • Wicking, quick-dry fabric keeps you comfortable in the heat

  • High waistband sits comfortably under harnesses and hip-belts

  • Tough enough to handle rock, trail, and scrub

Made for Warm Days and Full Movement
Mello Shorts are the shorter sibling of our all-day Mello Tights — same confidence-inspiring fit and performance, with a cooler cut for warmer days. The stretchy nylon fabric moves with you whether you’re lunging, squatting or clambering, and it dries fast after sweaty climbs or splashy stream crossings.

The high waistband gives a secure feel without digging in, perfect for layering under a harness or carrying a heavy pack. And the fabric? Soft, fully opaque, and more durable than it looks — so you can focus on your route, not your kit.

Tried, Tested, Trail Trusted

“Really comfortable and flattering. They stay in place and dry quickly. I’ve worn them hiking and climbing — great for both.” 

Lower Impact by Design
Made by sweat-shop free factories from a durable nylon/elastane blend, they're built to last and supported by our Continuum project — so when your Mello Shorts reach the end of their journey, they don’t go to waste.
